Am I genderqueer?

Characteristics of masculinity and femininity differ greatly between cultures. Tiara the Merchgirl doesn't fit neatly into any boxes and wants to know: Is genderqueer a reflection/rejection of society's idea of gender? If so, whose society?

This is probably going to sound really epically stupid, and perhaps transphobic, so many, many apologies in advance for the head-desk-ness of my queries.

I've met quite a few people recently who have identified themselves as genderqueer or bigender. I don't think any of them have a physical/biological intersex condition, and as far as I know none of them are looking to transition physically. Their perspective seems to be that neither "male" nor "female" suits them, so they place themselves somewhere in the middle of the gender spectrum.
